Richmond Ferry Terminal

On January 10, 2019, Richmond further expanded the city's tradition of being an innovative transportation hub by working in collaboration with the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) to  establish a new ferry route between San Francisco Ferry Terminal and the newly constructed ferry terminal in the City of Richmond. Passengers will embark/disembark at the San Francisco terminal and at the terminal on the Ford Peninsula on the City of Richmond's southern waterfront at 1453 Harbour Way South. The terminal is approximately 1.5 miles south of the Richmond downtown core, and will connect Richmond passengers to San Francisco in approximately 30 minutes.

The ferry has shepherded over 100,000 commuters, with 95% of the riders using the service rather than commuting across the Bay Bridge. The four morning and two afternoon ferries will depart to San Francisco every weekday with two morning and four afternoon ferries returning back to the Richmond Ferry terminal.
